    Default Amazon Rocks!

    While Decluttering my house this week, I ran across some of my old text books from college. I was going to throw them in the garage sale tomorrow, but decided to see if I could find a buy back site first. Amazon is giving me a gift card worth $102.00 for them!!! I probably would have walked away with $20 for them (if they even sold) at the garage sale. Happy dance

    Amazon is great like that! I am the parent of a college student and we order her books used from Amazon. So you made money, and you helped us too! We just ordered all of her books for this semester for 250.00! She is going to sell a bunch of her's back to them and get a credit to use for next semester too.

    That's really great. I would never have thought of selling to Amazon.

    Wow, that is awesome! I didn't know Amazon did that. Do they buy other books also?

    I love Amazon!!

    We are a homeschool family so we are always buying and selling books online. School books are not cheap and this way you get a good price on your books.

    There are many book selling websites out there...I think Amazon is the best for college level.
